Morning by morning, new mercies I see....

April 25th -

Great is thy faithfulness, Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning, new mercies I see.
All that I needeth thy hand hath provided,
Great is thy faithfulness Lord unto me.

I couldn't help by sing this on my run this morning!

"Gracious is the Lord, and righteous: Yes, our Lord is merciful." Psalm 116:5

"Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have seen the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord (He has a plan!) - that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful." - James 5:11

My prayer this morning is first and foremost one of thankfulness. There is no conveying in words how filled I am with newness, refreshment, hope, and yes, even vitality this morning. This can only be from You, Lord - the peace that passes all understanding.

Guide me today as I search for holistic ways to boost my white blood cell count and be pro-active in preparation for treatment. I was trying to force action from my health care providers yesterday and only became frustrated. So, today, I pray I will not be over-looked by them and I trust Your leading in the setting up of appointments. I give it to You, as with Job, You have a plan.

With a grateful heart, this child of Yours says... Amen!

"Pray that your life will reveal what you believe about Christ." -LFS

It's mid-day - I was so excited at Your leading, Lord, to share my journal that I spent a long time 'blogging' this morning. I awoke with such a newness and hope this morning - I felt Your renewing of my spirit, even though my physical body seems toxic after the exam yesterday. This twinge of anger at the Dr, I give over to You, as I renew my oath to let go and to trust You -that You are in control of my wellness. Grant me wisdom in my role in keeping my body prepared for the upcoming treatments. Chase away any fear and replace it with wisdom.

Thank You for the prayers from my loved ones - I feel them and it is so wonderful to know I am loved. May I be a gracious recipient
and learn to comfort others with the comfort with which I have been given. Amen.
